Configure ISA 2000 to allow FTP
I've installed SBS2003 Premium and enabled ISA 2000 to act as my firewall. I'm trying to access our external web hosts FTP site from my client machine on the LAN (Windows XP SP2). I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004 to do this. The Windows Firewall is also active on all clients and I've added a local exception on my machine for Dreamweaver.
On the ISA Server it appears that Protocol Definition for FTP is:
FTP FTP Protocol Application Filter 21 TCP Outbound
FTP Download Only FTP Download only Protocol Application Filter 21 TCP Outbound
FTP Server FTP Server protocol Application Filter 21 TCP Inbound
The problem I have is that I wish to use Dreamweaver to access my remote site using FTP. I've configured Dreamweaver as so:
Access: FTP
FTP Host: domain.co.uk (actual domain hidden)
Login: loginName (obviously not the Username)
Password: PasswordHere (obviously not the password)
I've tried enabling/disabling Passive FTP
Also tried enabling/disabling Use Firewall (with my Proxy settings set to SBSSERV:8080 with Firewall Port 21)
Nothing appears to work. When I enable the Use Firewall option and click Test Dreamweaver attempts to connect, I get a progress bar and it says Connecting to..., followed by Waiting for Server and then I get the following error:
An FTP error occured - cannot make connection to host
The remote host cannot be found
Any ideas?

This solution is only available to members.

Have you tried connecting by using the IP address instead? I know it sounds screwey, but give that a try and see if you can connect.

Thanx for the responses. The ISA server sits behind an Intelligent Gateway 1800 (BT Office Broadband box) which has it's own built in firewall. I've set this up to allow FTP thru it to the WAN NIC on my SBS Server but may not have done this completely (need to check settings again).
I haven't altered the protocols for FTP that ISA Sets up. I'll check them all and let you know.
I haven't tried connecting via the IP only. I'll also try this and get back to you.

Okay I've tried all the solutions offered and managed to find this doc:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/isa/2000/maintain/isaftpci.mspx
This has worked out and allows me to do what I want. So Netman66 gets the points for being in the right direction (not the exact solution but pointed me the right way).
Thanx

Are you using the built-in FTP filter or Protocol Definition?
